    Hello all!
    Well I'm looking to get myself a belated birthday present(was waiting on my tax return money) and am looking at the GS70 Stealth Pro-096 Crimson Red model and I have some questions for those of you that own the Crimson Red edition models and some questions as far as the Stealth Pro models in general. My current system is a GE70 with 12GB DDR3, 1 TB Samsung SSHD drive(my own install) and a Crucial M500 120GB MSata drive running Windows 8.1. I like to play several games like World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, and World of Warships(currently one of the beta-testers), but I also use the laptop for various Windows/Windows Phone app development and testing and I also use Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to edit my personal photography and design the images I need for my apps as well as play around with a few things. While this laptop is decent and holding it's own at doing all of those things, it's definitely not a master at anyone of those things as I average 35fps in WOT and it's not necessarily the best development machine. What I'm wanting to do is take my gaming and my graphics/photography work and do that on the Stealth Pro and make the GE70 my development only machine, but I have some questions prior to pulling the trigger on this purchase. As I will still use both for any email, office documents, music, and general everyday computing activity(browsing the web) as well.
    1. Does the crimson red finish act as a fingerprint magnet?
    2. Has anyone had any issues with running Lightroom and Photoshop on their GS70?

    I'm sure I have more questions but those are the only ones that I can think of at this point. Any and all feedback and assistance y'all can offer me will be greatly appreciated.

    GS70 series does not act as fingerprint magnet at all because the material and painting on the palmreast area is not smooth glossy type.

    The GTX970M and i7-4720 on GS70 won't have problems with Photoshop and Lightroom. It even performs very well with power hungry 3D modeling programs such as Blender with Cycles Engine, the performance was surprisely fast and each frame only took 30 seconds (except fire and smoke simulation took 30 minutes) to render:
